ABF Leadership Conference with Carter Shotwell


Calvary is hosting an ABF Leadership Conference with Carter Shotwell on Saturday, September 15, 2012.  This is a half-day conference of premier training for the Adult Bible Fellowship ministry (our Sunday morning groups), and it will be well worth the investment of time.  We’ll start the morning with a continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m. and serve lunch at 12:00 noon.  In between those times, we’ll hear from one of the top trainers in the country. 

Carter’s not just a trainer.  As the Executive Pastor of Ministries at Lake Pointe Church, he’s also a practioner.   The church has tripled in size in the past 15 years.  The driving organization behind this growth is the Life Group ministry (Adult Bible Fellowships).  Currently Lake Pointe is averaging 6,600 in LG (Life Group) attendance.  Each of the current 165 Life Groups is a dynamic church within the church.  Carter leads numerous conferences at the local, state and national levels each year, and he has found that the LG model is transferable to any size church.

Beyond our current ABF leaders, this conference is open to former ABF leaders as well as anyone who is exploring how God might use them in group life ministry.
